To My Sister...

We are different in so many ways
Taking different punches with different sways
Choosing different paths to tread on
Different confidants to rely upon
Different philosophies, different views
Different stages with different cues

But then again, we have a lot in common too
I take punches just like you
I tread upon paths, trying to find my way
Relying on, exactly like you,
Confidants every day
Just to get me through.
I have my philosophies and my views, formed by time
And we all are actors in life's play of sorrow and moments sublime

God, I know I don't say it often
But I love you so damn much
If only your familiar frown I could soften
With one damn touch...
One damn hug, expressing my eternal love so damn much
If only your familiar frown I could soften
With one damn touch...

Don’t let words and people get you down
Keep a beautiful smile instead of a sorrowful frown
Spread your wings and by god fly
And never stop soaring; let sorrow pass you by.
But if it is determined to stay
Determined to ruin your day
Remember you have a brother who loves you so damn much
And though he doesn’t say it often
He longs to soften
Your frown with one simple touch

When We’re Together

I long to be with you.
I wish you were here,
Because when we’re not together,
I become full of fear.

Fear of becoming lonely, fear of going insane,
Fear I’m going to lose you, which causes my heart much pain.
But the fact is I do love you.
No one can change what my heart says is true.
The time I spend with you, I cherish so,
But in the back of my mind, I realize eventually you’ll have to go.

Keeping this thought in mind and keeping it close to heart,
I realize every time we’re together, soon we’ll be torn apart.

So if you see me nearby,
And I look like I’m about to cry,
It’s not because I don’t love you,
It’s because I know what’s true:
Each time I’m with you,
It will soon be through.
